Hence why I can't stand Clarkson nor watch his TV show
Another pathetic dim witted tweeting driver...

Cd365, Ditto, which is why I said "I believe".

You speak for all car drivers?

Of the car drivers I know who don't ride bikes or motorbikes nearly all genuinely believe it is dangerous to ride 2 abreast and when I've been in a car with them all seem to get irritated if they are required to slow down [one dangerously so which I'm watching for any escalation beyond sounding off] when they see people doing it- no amount of rational discussion at the time seems to influence or alter their view. In my experience Nickyboy's right.

Yes, but the qualifier "who don't ride bikes or motorcycles" means that these are the views of those who know nothing about it.
I think sitting on a horse is dangerous, but never having done it my views are worthless.

Yet these people are out there driving round... unlike you not riding a horse.

And like the kid whose ridiculous attitude started this thread off, they need education.

I've never been in a car with someone who expressed strong views about cyclists, singly or abreast. Why would they?
Seriously, how many times has this happened? You just get in a car and the driver starts mouthing off about cycling abreast? Far-fetched.

Why can't anyone give a straight answer? It's almost as if they're talking complete bollocks.

Well, I have, and the person concerned is someone I frequently cycle with. There is something about those metal boxes that drives people crazy.

Let's see, 6 or 7 just off the top of my head... I haven't kept count to be honest, and it doesn't come up in conversation as a rule, surprising as that may be...
My parents, Mrs A-T's parents, 2 people I work with, the prat a few doors down.... normal people who aren't psychopaths [apart from the village idiot...] they just think cycling on roads is dangerous... then there's Clarkson, Emma Way...

Perhaps they should have some type of psychological test included in the driving test.
